Abstract

Survey Says! The Family Feud Approach to Regional GIS Coordination
Track: State and Local Government
Authors: Shelley Stenoien, Betsi Chatham

In order to better serve GIS users in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, local representatives from North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG), South Central Arc User Group (SCAUG), Metroplex Arc User Group (MAUG), Geospatial & Information Technology Association (GITA) and Esri have joined forces to create a GIS Training Survey. With the results, the groups hope to tailor local conference presentations, free workshops and other training opportunities to the specific GIS needs of the region. This presentation will document the collaborative process of creating the GIS survey, how it was implemented, the final results and how those results have improved GIS relations in the North Texas region.
